As you navigate through another video, you see someone expertly foaming oat milk (I’ve tried Soy milk, regretted it with every sip) in a brightly lit kitchen area.
Their coffee shop is well-kept, welcoming, and somehow transforms a not-so-loved Monday into a happy-go-lucky atmosphere.
Yes, this is me and my million Pinterest boards and Instagram reels that are full of aesthetically pleasing visuals of how I would like my dream home to look (dramatic much, I know).
Not much is required of you actually. It only takes a little room, some deliberate effort, and the right atmosphere to make “making coffee” into a full-fledged ritual. A place where your afternoon pick-me-up arrives with a side of coziness and where your morning cup feels precious.
According to The proper kitchen, a coffee bar at home provides cost-effectiveness, convenience, personalization, and visual appeal. In the long run, it saves money, allows for experimentation with different beans and flavors, and removes the need to rush to coffee shops.
The above source further adds that a coffee bar should include a drip, espresso machine, or French press, coffee grinder, storage for grounds or beans, utensils like mugs and spoons, and decorative elements like plants or artwork.
Matthew Barry, roaster and owner of Ember Coffee Co. advises individuals to avoid packing your home coffee bar with extraneous devices and make sure that at least half of the setup is free of obstructions for placing cups in order to create a neat and welcoming atmosphere. This simple and uncluttered arrangement makes administration simple and highlights your lovely setting.
